Rhinoplasty of UCS A-Wing 75275

[Anio]

Greetings.

It was 2 weeks ago. A day like any other day.

I was watching TV, just like I have done so many times in the past. And suddenly, I had a vision.

 

Don't you see it ?

I will give you another chance to prove your worth.

Here is your second and last hint.

 

You still don't have it ?

You still need to learn to improve your Lego skills, young Padawan.

 

Look at the rear of Boeing #10360, close your eyes slowly, and the nose of UCS A-Wing 75275 will suddenly appear.

 

 

Such a simple yet effective modification ! Maintain the style of 75275, perfect flow on the sides, nice taper, and pointier nose.

The parts needed for this modification are available for more than a year.

How on God green Earth could no one make that modification before ?

Looks super sweet - subtle but very effective.  So is that a Wedge 5 x 2 and a Slope 10 6 x 1 at the front and then a 3 x 3 slope wedge and 1x3 brick?

Did you tweak the internals as well as I think there is only studs for the outermost wedges and no studs for the inside x 1s or am I miss remembering?

No modification on the inside.

This is why it is a very simple modification any owner of 75275 should do.

You also need some plate 1x3 in white, some plate 2x2 corner, and some plate 1x2.

I plan to modify the SNOTed slope with slope 5654 so that the nose will be even more sharp.

Sounds good - I have your A-wing on one side of the room and this on the other - look forward to seeing the sharper 75275

Here is the updated version with new 4x1 slopes on the sides. It brings more flow, with a slightly concave shape on the sides.

Nice update to A Wing :)

Looking so much better now - I have applied both changes and also trying a further small tweak - straight swapping the 6179 / tile with studs for a pair of 4x4 tiles or swapping out for 2 2x6 tiles plus a 1x4 across - so far I have one half of the nose using the 4s and one using the 6s
